dc.description.abstract | To fill a gap in the literature and to better inform decision making in oncology, this doctoral thesis investigates the role and impact of analytical methods in the economic evaluation of oncology medications through three main chapters which have been recently published. Chapter 2 presents a systematic literature survey of published economic evaluations in oncology over a 10-year period in order to identify, examine, and describe analytical methods that have been utilized (published in Pharmacoeconomics Open in 2021). This chapter demonstrated that greater detail in reporting of extrapolation methods, statistical techniques, and validation procedures is needed in order to conform with best practices outlined in existing economic evaluation guidelines. Chapter 3 complements the work of chapter 2 but takes a different perspective through an examination of the methods reported in economic evaluations published by HTA agencies in Canada, the UK, and Australia (published in Current Oncology in 2022). This chapter revealed significant reporting discrepancies across the agencies and concluded that common standards for reporting the results of HTAs should be implemented. Building on chapters 2 and 3, chapter 4 provides a model-based health technology re-assessment of an oncology drug approved on the basis of interim trial data using recently published long-term follow up data (published in Current Oncology in 2023). The findings from this chapter highlight the importance of transparency in the reporting of methods, the impact of using a life-cycle approach to HTA, and demonstrate the existence of a tradeoff between clinical/economic uncertainty and the value of the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). The final chapter provides the overall conclusions of the research and presents avenues for future research. | en_US |
